Maximum subarray sum such that sum is odd

Given an array of integers I have to find the subarray with maximum sum such that the sum is odd.

For instance in the array "2,5,7" the answer is 7,2. Till now I have come across the Kadane's algorithm And its implementation here http://pastebin.com/qwWzbxKw

But how do I extend it such that the sum is odd.

EDIT

All elements of the array are Integers and positive

It appears you are not requiring it to be contiguous (from your example). This is much simpler, just take all positive elements, and if sum is odd - you are done. If it is even - remove the lowest positive odd element, or add the highest odd negative element (do which is better, it depends only on abs(highest_negative_odd) and lowest_positive_odd).

Pseudo code:

  1. sum <- sum of all positive elements
  2. if sum is odd - done, return the relevant subarray
  3. x <- highest negative odd element
  4. y <- lowest positive odd element
  5. if abs(x) < y
    • sum <- sum + x //add x to the subarray
  6. else:
    • sum <- sum - y //remove y from the subarray
  7. return relevant subarray

EDIT:

For all positive number it's even easier - if the sum is not odd - just kick the smallest odd number out.
